A nation’s people must be able to trust their armed forces—above all, their generals. In the case of the United States, if military leaders were to carry out unlawful orders or engage in a war driven by political pressure—such as a decision influenced by Benjamin Netanyahu persuading Donald Trump to align with Israel against Iran—then those generals would share responsibility. They would be complicit in the problem and in failing to uphold their oath to the Constitution.
While a nation may, at times, lose confidence in its president, losing trust in its generals signals something far more serious—a deep and troubling erosion at the core of the state.
